Why babies be swaddled?

There are various reasons known why babies are swaddled in developed countries (on grounds of developing countries, where there are some other techniques should not be discussed here):

Because swaddled babies sleep better than most ungepuckte babies. Swaddling soothes newborns. New research shows that swaddled babies sleep better and wake up less often spontaneous, with longer REM sleep. You wake up less frequently by stimulation on the outside of

Because swaddled babies have a lower risk of dying of sudden infant death, because they sleep more and are therefore not of the parents placed in the prone position in bed.
